    Objectives To evaluate the potential for long distance airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor community settings and to investigate factors that might influence transmission. Design Rapid systematic review and narrative synthesis. Data sources Medline, Embase, medRxiv, Arxiv, and WHO COVID-19 Research Database for studies published from 27 July 2020 to 19 January 2022; existing relevant…

    • A new systematic review on long distance (>2 meters, 6.6 ft) airborne transmission: the importance of adequate ventilation to prevent Covid for indoor venues https://t.co/zk5fqOlsOB @bmj_latest by @daph_duval and colleagues #COVIDisAirborne https://t.co/4r4ifSYLll

    • This systematic review found evidence suggesting that long distance airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 might occur in indoor settings such as restaurants and identified factors such as insufficient air replacement that probably contributed to transmission https://t.co/0PdtR92ypX
